Don't tell 38AC..... He'll buy it !

I noticed that your processing 5 gallon batches.  Why did you settle on that sized batch tank?

I noticed you're using a rather high volume fan.  Do I need that much air flow?

1] 5 gallon batches for two reasons:
a] space. I have very little spare room in my garage.
b] I collect the WVO in 5 gallon jugs. I can pour it straight into the processor right after collection. No dirty oil sitting around.

2] High volume fan:
It's not really high volume. No specific calculation done there. It's the only small blower I could find which runs on 120 volt AC.
You need enough air to carry away the moisture when heated to 150f or greater.
The fan does have a cooling effect because the air passes over the oil stream as it falls back to the tank.
You will find it necessary to keep the heater(s) on when the fan is running or your batch will cool down.

Ok......look here,

We don't use them anymore. Being air cooled, they were VERY loud.
Very similar to the Yanmar and Launtop air cooled diesels.
9HP @ 3600 rpm.

Wags,

I can only speak for the 6/1 and 8/1 GM90 Listeroid engines.
The fuel injector line is 1/4" OD.
(I suspect most Listeroids are similar)
This happens to be the correct size for the Diesel Tiny Tack (1/4 " model)

Yes I do have one. I bought it recently to add to my CHP system instrumentation.
They system is currently under construction so I can't offer and run-time experience.
The company where I work has used them on Honda 1cyl. diesels with great success.

Very comprehensive website showing your progress.
Please keep us posted as things progress.

well done,

Do not use waste oils of any sort unless it's veg oil.
All lubricating oils have additives and when burnt these additives chemically change and produce a abrasive ash which can wear piston rings and cylinder bores out in as little time as 1500 hours of use.
The additives can not be removed by filtering or distilling or gassing of the oil.
This subject is really one for chemists as is a very complex one and any one with connections with the petrol chemical industry may be able to give a better description of what's going on.

- You don't publish your own long therm test results but you expect anyone who disagrees to "prove" what they say by providing long term results.
- You read things on other forums and run here to post a warning that nobody should burn WMO.

This forum is also about experimentation and trial/error.
Most of us members are here to discuss and help each other with interesting and sometimes unusual trials (such as various way to burn WMO).
Many are actually doing it and are happy to post their successes and failures which is valuable to all members.
You do not seem to be an expert in the subject so please don't advise the general membership what to do (and what not to do).

Thanks kindly

*** UPDATE ***

We have received confirmation that engines can still be ordered until further notice.

I am now taking orders for the next shipment of GM90's (spring 2011 arrival).
Electric start models are now offered.

Engines will be ordered on a reserve basis so book yours now if you want one in spring.
